Weirdest Games Ever - Cargo! The Quest For Gravity

[@DoubleSpoiler]

Hey! I'm the guy who owns that wiki! I work on the Pathologic wiki as well, and started up the Cargo! one to try and help get info out about it. Thanks for the little shout-out!

[@lillianlevi5448]

Honestly this being made by the pathologic devs makes a lot of sense

[@kneedeepandfriends7188]

So glad Ashton found this game it made an excellent episode lol "I love my job".

[@Desmuria]

36:22 Peter's delayed reaction cracked me up. Ashton: Have my own special fun time with it. Peter: Yea-- um, okay...

[@AwesomeAssassin21]

This is one of the weirdest games I’ve ever seen. Really good episode this week. Keep up the good work.

[@therunawaykid6523]

Yeah very very weird I sure won’t be playing this looks incredibly boring....

[@oxymoron02]

The fact that Peter even knows what vore is makes me suspect that his joke was not a joke.

[@exiaxzero]

My main takeaway from the Weirdest/Worst Games Ever trivias is that there exists a few people who had the stomach to play these games over and over enough to get a speedrun record.

[@ikmnification5737]

Simon Miller crossed with Minions = Simonions

[@dbone3356]

"Can we go up inside a penguin?" Is not a sentence I ever thought I would hear.

[@josinboop6132]

I don't understand anything that's going on because I woke up and this video was playing but i think it qualifies for the weirdest games ever list

[@markhitchcock7380]

I watched the video from the start and have no idea what’s going on.

[@Nbflowers1989]

Lmao love the Simon Miller references always and this one was especially naked.

[@KatyLawson]

I love that Ashton is clearly dressed for the intense heat we're getting in the UK, whilst Peter is still wearing a hoodie. Two different types of person.

[@rubiitoxic]

I sometimes sit outside in 85-90+ weather in my black hoodie, blanketed in sunlight, feeling the sweat drip down my stomach because I sure as hell dont wear a shirt underneath simply because I decide that I want to be sitting outside and I won't be stopped

[@rubiitoxic]

Fr though, I'd see her anywhere in norcal and she'd fit right in lookin like that

[@Orion1234567890ET]

She did complain on twitter pretty recently about the Aircon in the office being too cold, whether their recording room is cold who knows

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

Peter loves his sweaters too much to care about the heat.

[@velvetaeon2774]

Clothist !

[@SethGolovin]

I need to note that I have beaten this game and really enjoyed it. Once you understand the core concepts it is actually quite fun and tactical. It just does an awful job explaining itself to the point I had to start over several times. It’s really easy to screw yourself over if you aren’t careful with what vehicle parts to sell and if you don’t do a lot of side quests. You want to spend a lot of effort getting FUN chains so that you can bring down more buildings before moving on to the next season. So, yes, this weird game does actually have strategies and to answer Ashton’s claim that no one has ever played it, I have and I 100% completed it.

[@SethGolovin]

I also feel like they are being incredibly unfair by skipping past all the instructions and then complaining they don’t know what to do. Stop skipping the part where they tell you what to do and you will know what to do.

[@ryanellis4533]

You need an award for 100ing this game.. You must have a good tolerance for games that are poo

[@SethGolovin]

@@ryanellis4533 No actually. I just really enjoyed this one. It's also not very long. Doing everything took me like maybe 5 hours. I should also note that it has a Very Positive rating on Steam with nearly 90% positive reviews.

[@rayceeya8659]

WOW this was a weird but very fun game. In fact every game from Ice Pick Lodge was pretty strange. The Void is especially weird.

[@yourgameisstupid]

The Void is fascinating. Too bad it's insanely difficult beyond reason :\

[@rayceeya8659]

@@yourgameisstupid Yeah, I never made it very far, but the idea of a disembodied soul that uses color as a tool to interact with the world. It's a fascinating mechanic.

[@Slyse]

@@yourgameisstupid Same here, must've gotten a level or two in maybe, but just couldn't be arsed because of the difficulty.

[@yourgameisstupid]

@@Slyse I ended up cheating heavily in order to experience the whole thing. It was worth it, but I imagine a more forgiving game (that also did away with the glyph drawing mechanic) would have been a dramatic improvement.

[@MrBeardsley]

The main difference being that The Void and Pathologic are both dark and depressing, but this goes in the complete opposite direction.

[@dingusdangus9299]

This game was basically an intentional shitpost by the devs who were frequently told their games were too "serious"

[@matthewbraith0411]

This game seems like a fever dream.

[@yeismeload]

I watched this entire video and still have no idea what the Hell is going on in this game.

[@FourthStar]

Well, I will most certainly NOT see those buddies in my nightmares tonight.

[@olliepop369]

OMG that Windwaker sample at 22:18 took me back

[@maryyram5039]

28:24 - that sound effect caught me so off guard LOOOL

[@Rogue_Fox]

I absolutely loved this episode! Incredibly weird, mind melting, and thoroughly enjoyable! Excellent job!

[@etowngti]

Watched this whole video with my full attention and still am not sure what the hell this game is about...maybe Ashton should be Games Master more often? 😅

[@sirprintalot]

15:18 I love my job 19:14 Peter losing his mind

[@barrydingall]

The art style reminds me of Floop’s world in Spy Kids.

[@MrBeardsley]

“So it was Earth all along, just like that film Monkey Planet.”

[@masteryoda7207]

I have no idea what the hell just happened, but it was absolutely hilarious. 😂

[@jasonhubbard6775]

0:52 Ashton is giving in to the madness!

[@vixxito]

What in the actual FUCK is this. Truly one of the weirdest games I've ever seen.

[@WovenTNT]

I actually played this game when it came out. Didn't play it long, but I remember building a motor boat with like 24 jet engines - so fucking stupid looking. But each engine layered the sound, so I was pissing myself laughing, my roommates too, as I destroyed my speakers in front of us with the loudest, most painful boat sound effect you've ever heard. I hadn't laughed that hard in a long time.

[@OrgaNik_Music]

I honestly cannot understand a single thing about this game. It's like a whimsical fever dream.

I do not know how I can go on living life normally after seeing the triple buddies image…

[@nickythenick91]

Man I imagined I played this game when someone enters the room. I think I would be ashamed more than if I was watching hardest of porn.

[@Punk_Fan]

Please, please, PLEASE cover Super Bonk. That was such a crazy bonkers game!

[@epicpandemic916]

This game would be fun on lsd

[@Alucard-A-La-Carte]

I feel like this was the kind of "truly bizarre weirdness" that Skullmonkeys tried for and failed.

[@russellbelew2604]

I love how around 14:35 they spelled "wheel" correctly... then 5 seconds later it's spelled incorrectly. 🤣 This game is like the Minions and Waterworld had a love child and gave it LSD. Wonderful video all around. ❤️

[@ARIXANDRE]

Love you guys! Stay strong and carry on!

[@QuintinArlieNoggle]

Maan, that gave me some solid flashbacks. Weird game for sure but from good times

[@BrazenSolar]

A game so great they named it twice.

[@garetjax19]

@3:53 'Tastes like Popcorn and Clowns'. Wonder if that's going to be Ben and Jerry's New 'Halloween' ice cream! Thanx Ashton. Peace All

[@plasteredvillage]

Those buddies legit remind me of the gnomes from the ps1 Harry Potter games. Honestly one of the funniest weirdest games you’ve played!!

[@brycestrife5605]

One of the strangest games I've seen.

[@therunawaykid6523]

Reminds me a bit of banjo kazooie nuts and bolts with the creating vehicles but with the weirdness ramped right up

[@sneakyskunk1]

Ah yes, Cargo! The Quest for Gravity my old foe. So we meet again. These are not the first gamers I have watched you break. I fear they will not be the last.

[@caiodacosta6951]

this game has big Ashton energy

[@insignificantaftermathPROJECTS]

This game looks like what Jak & Daxter would be in a strange dream sequence.

[@DeathsNitemareShepardOfHope]

i only recently discovered stroop waffles here in America about 2 years ago although i'm sure they've been around for a while longer than that. Stroop Waffles are Really Really Good when i'm in the mood for them, which is basically always. They're great with coffee, good with hot tea and just as enjoyable when eaten by itself. 😄👍

[@reptilez13]

So the penguins made something click for me - there's a 16-bit (I think Genesis/MD, but maybe not) game where you run around a platform and fight evil penguins in an isometric view. It's like a collect X amount of Y to get keys or something, there's a hammer iirc, very overly complicated - anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? Idk if it's related to this kaleidoscope of nonsense but it'd make a great weirdest games ever lol..

[@paralleldiscord9512]

I kept waiting for the band to start singing that it's bad luck to be you

[@rayceeya8659]

My only complaint about Cargo was that it's just too short.

[@murdocnl]

Damn, cargo's short huh

[@rayceeya8659]

@@murdocnl It's short, but it leaves you waning more.

[@konrad_m_rataj]

This is the "Beyond Good & Evil" sequel we all deserve for not buying the first one.

Got this from some bundle back in the early 2010's, played about 30min and absolutely hated it. Never again.

[@Sunprism]

"I don't think anyone has played this game before" Me neither

[@crane8819]

It isn't the weirdest game I've seen but it's certainly weirder than most. 😄

[@michaeltylerstewart]

But have you played Cargo!….. on WEEEED!?

[@corsaircarl9582]

Forgot the name but there was an MMORPG IIRC that was from the late ninties where you played a farmer in ancient Egypt.

[@rubiitoxic]

There have been game dev projects rejected for supposed lack of interest, misinterpretations of the current gaming climate, a presumed lack of future sales, among other things. This was released, this was *actually* released.

[@rubiitoxic]

This game is 11 years old??

[@andrewchilton7186]

Great episode. This looks absolutely awful and disjointed. Weird for the sake of being weird but with no enjoyable gameplay or meaningful story and any context. Would be worst games ever for me but a lot of other people seem to enjoy it? Whatever works for people. Either way, incredible episode; thanks triple jump!
